I'm an outdoor enthusiast living, and raising my children, in Alaska. I aspire to instill in my children respect, knowledge and a love of the outdoors. Our videos are based on our outdoor adventures, lessons, and projects.
I am glad I'm not in China or Russia, But it is ironic that everyone keeps calling America the "land of the free" When it also has the highest incursion rate per capita. At this point shouldn't the title go to somewhere like Ireland?

I arrive in Anchorage tomorrow night super excited about this summer. I'm a sportsman there's no way I will ever snag or dip net for sockeye's. No sport in that at all but that's just me I don't disrespect the fisherman that do snag and dip net. Went to Kenai beach one year to watch the dip netters and it was it shit show. Dead salmon all over the beach disgusting. They even had a bouncy house for the kids right on the beach. This year from June 15th thru Aug. 15 the limit is 6 fish a day on the lower Kenai I wonder how that's going to work. Just takes fisherman longer to limit out and less fishing spots are open. Going to have to get up really early to secure a good fishing spot. I carry 3 spare reels in my backpack with an extra fly rod. Sometimes it's easier to change out reels when you loose your loop on the fly line or you can tie a nail not.

It's about the freezer, most till enjoy sportsmanship when fishing, but we also want to be able to fill our freezer. Tons of people come here to take fish and send them home, are we not allowed to use our resources in ways where we guarantee our success against all the tourists? To each their own, but I love fishing, but also love filling the freezer to support my family.

Very cool video. We are in Alaska and use an Aurora as our daily driver to our off grid cabin. We're on tracks because we need them and we just recently got a source of water and a pressure washer so we have not been good at lubing the bearings every 25 hours. By which I mean we've never done it and so we've had to take it to the shop for bearing replacements a couple times now. We should be close to having a bush shop where we can start doing some maintenance ourselves and take better care of it, but we're tempted to try to trade in for a Conquest to cut back on the maintenance necessary. Do you have any experience with the sealed bearings of a Conquest or its auto chain lubing system?

Good Morning from the Matsu Valley. I had a question that I wanted to get your opinion on. I have remote properties in Petersville and Point Mackenzie. We use our Argo to get to each property. We use our Argo almost every weekend to get to either property. Should I grease my zerk fittings every weekend after we use the Argo? I always drain and wash out my pans, get any debris from around the axles, spray my chains and wash it after each use. I have a 2004 Argo Conquest 8x8 with tracks. I appreciate all of your videos. Definitely enjoy supporting a fellow Alaskan. Be safe and I look forward to hearing from you.
@RaisedinAlaska12 күн бұрын
That is a great question. I probably over grease mine. My concern is always water in the outer bearings. If it were me, being a self proclaimed over greaser, I’d grease the outer bearings, if they were submerged in water, in an attempt to push any water out of the bearing. If there was not water in the tub, and the inner bearings were not exposed to water, I would not grease them every time. My two cents. 😉
